Wow. I wasn't expecting to see Edmonton come up again.

 

[Dan403]

Can he play goal?

What's the record for the most teams played for in the shortest time

 

[voxel]

4th or less please. Overpayment otherwise.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Yeah I don’t think Brassard was the guy Edmonton was hoping for…..

 

[Snipes45]

Can he play goal?

One of the dumbest responses I keep seeing. Go look at what Koskinen has been doing numbnuts (I don't even like Kosko lol)

4th rounder - confirmed

 

[ElPrimeTime]

Haven't watched him at all, but looking at his stats, seems like a decent addition. Flyer fans, was he actually centering your 2nd line and playing the point on the PP?

 

[Connor McConnor]

Not a horrible pickup for a 4th, gives us more versatility on an already significantly improved bottom 6 (from years prior, not that it is a good bottom 6)

 

[Jumptheshark]

4th rounder I can live with

I hope Ken Holland feels shame for the free agency and deadline he's put together this season.

 

[SpezDispenser]

This one smells like shit!

Nah as long as he didn't hurt Mike Smith and Duncan Keith's feelings he'll sleep well. He cares more about relationships with old fcks than making the right hockey move.

 

[KarmaPolice]

A 4th rounder is pretty good value. He gives us another option on our 3rd and 4th lines. Solid depth move.

 

[The Red Line]

Oof. What is Holland actually doing over there?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Likely plays on the third line with RNH and Kassian.

He’s been overused by our shitty coaching staff all season long especially before he was injured. Including on the PP. In a perfect world, he should be centering a 4th line. His point totals look good but are largely inflated by him getting plenty of minutes with guys like Farabee and Atkinson. Still, he has plenty of playoff experience and for a 4th rounder, not all too bad for a depth role.

He played o m the 2nd lime, because Couts and Hayes were hurt lots of the season

He, Farabee and Atkinson produced a LOT early on shooting at an unsustainable rate.

He is a depth C who makes some bad mistakes. But you got him cheap so that's to be expected.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Cheap depth. wont move the needle.

Don’t you dare question the highest paid GM in the league

This might be it. EDM is Brassard's 8th team in 5 seasons, if I'm counting correctly.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

4th line C for a 4th, nothing to complain here.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Flyers get a 4th for Brassard, thanks Ken.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Likely plays on the third line with RNH and Kassian.

What? No, he likely does not. He'll be a winger/4C for this team unless they plan on moving RNH back to McDavid's wing, then McLeod would jump up to 3C and he'd be the 4C. Foegele/Ryan have been excellent 3rd line wingers lately after starting off slow.
